Thanks so much for the comments. Really love the NPR render finish- have tried to do that myself but didnt work so I didnt post. Can you re upload your finished model so I can see what you did and how you did it?

I see You don't make full detailed models of the furniture. Don't You use SketchUp to make cutlist?

Hi Dedmin

I design and install but I buy in all the carcases. There are carcase companies who are much bigger machinery and I make money designing and installing - it would take me too long to cut, edge and assemble the carcases myself so I leave it to the big guys. All non standard items, I draw detailed working drawings for and either make them myself or again farm out to the big guys. Works well for me.

Thanks for the comments

I see - thanks. Here we are using melamine faced boards and also send cutlists to the big guys to cut the panels for us. But we need detailed models of the furniture to have exact dimensions of all the parts.

Dermot, I did a very fast and dirty test, I added lights to the cabinets and kept the dark exterior. I think the cabinet lighting creates interest,
I did a few texture changes, I hope this helps.

Oh, I have a very feint line overlay.

Hi Dermot,

Just want to say again what wondefully detailed models the cabinets are. Here is both the unaltered render I left in the cooker overnight and while at work today (17.5 hrs total). Also - a second with a slight line overlay - I think it really punches out the details in the cabinetry. Finished model is on it's way via email - too big to post here. Let me know if you have any questions with what I did.

Thanks,
Bytor

Dean, that looks great.

bytor · 13 Nov 2009, 23:22

Thanks Pete! I really love Twilight and how easy it has made using the Kerky engine right inside SU.

That is fantastic. Really love the line overlay - Pete did something similar on his. How do you go about applying this overlay. Is it done in Photoshop or within the rendering package?

solo · 14 Nov 2009, 00:39

Dermot

Just export a line style of the model (turn shadows off) and in your image editor overlap the line export with the rendered image. I normally put the lines on top with a transparency (play around 'till you happy)

Make sure to export the line at same aspect ratio as render (I normally render to my screen ratio then export the lines 2x that amount and reduce in PS to the same size as render as that will give sharper lines)

Hi Pete

Like all things that involve rendering I am very, very new to Photoshop having previously used it to remove redeye from family pictures!!! Is there a tutorial for doing this available online or in the forum archives? Again I apologise for my lack of knowledge!

solo · 14 Nov 2009, 00:50

Here is a good one.

Dermot - mate we ALL start somewhere. Yet the best thing for chaps our vintage, we still learn every day! It's always heartening to see the skills of others develop through the sharing of knowledge!!

Wow!! I'm not normally a lover of blended PR and NPR images but mate that is stunning!

d12dozr · 19 Nov 2009, 21:34

I agree, I really like Fymoro's render

leminilab · 19 Nov 2009, 23:37

Hi,

Your model is brimey, couldn't resist trying a render... So here's my attempt of Kerkythea render using ready-made textures.
Lights a bit too close from the ceiling also...

dermotcoll · 20 Nov 2009, 01:47

Fred - stunning render - I really love that NPR look - thats why I bought Piranesi - still havent got rowund to using it in anger yet as I keep getting drawn into the PR world - maybe I need counselling!!??

leminilab - again great render and loved the other set up - you are the only one who has used a different view point and it looks really good.

Richard - I am so appreciative of the kind words of support and guidance from you and all the other forum members. I am learning so much from all of you and the tips and tricks that you give to all the newbies is very much appreciated by us all. It does take a while to realise that you have all gone through the pain we are experiencing now. Thanks again.

dermotcoll · 20 Nov 2009, 01:51

Oh BTW Fred,

We were the best team yes but I think everyone has to wise up and realise that the game finished last night, a mistake was made by the officials in allowing the goal but the playoff was won / lost on the pitch and that is were football should be played -not in court or a committee room. I really admire Thierry Henry as a player and when you see him sitting on a pitch with his head bowed you know he is devastated by what has happened - I think he wishes the referee had seen it and disallowed the goal but thats life - I don't think any less of him - he is still a great player.

fymoro! That is absolutely lovely! great work!
Any client should be thrilled with it!
